NOTE: Avoid any prints on the tops
Ankara Jackets with Skirts and Shorts
The best idea for this look is brief, so make your shorts and skirts short, for the ladies, with an elegant pair of low sneakers. For men, the normal 1 inch above the knee can do.
The choice of shorts or can be plain shorts that complement the jacket or a short and jacket suit also known as ankara on ankara .
Ankara on Ankara
This is where the jacket and the bottoms are both ankara. This, in my view, seems so monotonous so its important to break it with a plain fabric either on the jackets or the bottoms to give it that bold look and not that shouting look. |
Ankara and Shoes
My suggestion is to keep it simple.
Ladies: Strap heels, low sneakers e.g. chucks ,sandals, brogues; Depending on what you are pairing it with.
Men: Chelsea boots, brogues, low sneakers, loafers; Depending on what you are pairing it with.
Bonus: Some Inspired looks just for you.
